7) While having an existential crisis you lay on the floor to stare at the ceiling. The normal force you experience from the ground is likely equal to... A The parallel component of the your weight
B Your weight
C The friction between the you and the ground
D Your mass

The correct answer is B. your weight

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. You may not think this, but when you're standing on the floor, you are exerting a force against the floor: your weight, caused by gravity, is pulling you down. The floor is reacting by pushing back: we call this force the reaction force. -Google

thermal energy is the answer

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
